Wow you have a great set of books here! Do you borrow/buy/kindle.....???
Sarah wrote: "Wow you have a great set of books here! Do you borrow/buy/kindle.....???"My local library recently changed to a new ebook lending service; their previous one was worthless. It is now much easier to check out the popular books by placing a Hold on an ebook from the comfort of my computer. Not a lot of people have caught on and started using the new online library yet, so I get my ebooks on the "Hold" list much faster and easier than trying to physically obtain a bestseller at the Library.
You can obtain many classics for free at Project Gutenberg online, and Amazon also has a lot of classics as free Kindle downloads.
How do you find the time to read so much? So jealous
Olympia wrote: "How do you find the time to read so much? So jealous "I am retired and I rarely watch TV. When working people are working, I am doing my home chores; when working people are doing their home chores or watching TV, I am reading. That enables me to read about 5-6 hours or about 200-250 pages almost every night. Retirement is the greatest invention ever! Please don't be jealous, just hang in there and someday it will happen to you, too.

wow, you have so many great books here.I really wished I could read as much as you read. Unfortunately I'm working so my reading times are limited to subway/bus commutes and maybe an hour before sleep.
Maryam, retirement is the greatest invention ever! Please, just hang in there and someday it will happen to you. I rarely read anything but the newspaper when I was working; now I am desperately trying to make up for missed reading time before death.
